One of the local radio stations has been playing Sheryl Crow's new song a lot lately:
On the one hand: it's almost impossible for me to dislike a tune like this. I have a fondness for songs that sound like someone came up with them while jamming half-drunk with a bunch of friends on a front porch somewhere (see also: "Beast of Burden"), and I do love good use of an orchestra to back a simple pop song, which in part explains why Motown is so awesome. It all adds up to something extremely easy to listen to.
On the other: who's she ripping off more, Ray LaMontagne or Van Morrison?
